Communities Across the Nation Encouraged to Help in Effort
(Alton, IL - January 22, 2010) � Alton Flour Powers Bake Sale and Raffle to support Share Our Strength's Great American Bake Sale, a national effort that encourages Americans to host bake sales in their communities to help end childhood hunger. We
hope to raise $1,500, but we need your help! Please join us in ending childhood
hunger by contributing to our bake sale and raffle. We asking for baked goods OR
raffle items such as merchandise, gift cards, gift baskets or any other item you feel
would help our cause!!
Today, more than 12 million children in the United States do not know when their next
meal will come. Unfortunately, this number continues to rise as these difficult
economic times are leaving more and more people jobless, without homes, and unable
to provide food for their families. But there is hope. We can end childhood hunger.
Thanks to programs like Great American Bake Sale we can all do our part to help
families struggling to make ends meet. Funds raised through Great American Bake
Sale support summer and after-school feeding programs in our community that
hundreds and thousands of kids depend on.
Great American Bake Sale is a program of Share Our Strength, a nation organization
working hard to make sure no kid in America grows up hungry. Share Our Strength
helps close the gap between nutritious food programs and families in need. They help
develop lasting solutions for hungry families-the difference between feeding a family
tonight and ensuring that they never again have to worry about their next meal.
